A WORD OF ADVICE FROM THE CURÉ OF ARS FOR THE END OF THE YEAR

 “Many Christians work only to satisfy this corpse [he always called the body a ‘corpse’] that will soon rot in the earth; and yet they do not think of their poor soul, which must be eternally happy or unhappy. They lack spirit and common sense: this is terrifying! You see, my children, we must remember that we have a soul to save and an eternity that awaits us. The world, riches, pleasures, and honors will pass away, but heaven and hell will never pass away. Let us be careful!” 

 Saint Curé of Ars

And you... Do you practice charity? Meditate on it before God.

 

ALWAYS THE SAME

“…He who possesses true virtue does not change nor is he disturbed by anything, like a rock in the midst of the sea beaten by raging waves. Let them despise you, let them slander you, let them mock you, let them call you hypocrites, false devotees: none of this takes away the peace of your soul; you love those who insult you just as much as those who praise you; do not cease, for this reason, to do them good and to protect them, even if they speak ill of you; continue in your prayers, in your confessions, in your communions, continue attending Holy Mass as if nothing had happened.”

St. John Vianney, the Curé of Ars
